electricity 500 volts more than is administered to condemned per sons in the penal instlttrti ons of 2?ew york new jersey and ohio measured by the standards recognized by the states that employ electricity in ac complishing the execution of human be ings this little child should now be dead but she still lives and the story of how ' her life was saved has added another argu ment to be used by the eminent medical men who charge that persons who suffer the death penalty by menus of electrocu tion are not killed by the electric shock but by the knife of the surgeon who per forms the official autopsy or by dissolution in the grave similar to branda case in many respects the case is similar to that of john branda the laborer who re cently was revived at the hudson street hospitai in new york city after he had received an electrical shock of 2,400 volts while working on the lines of the metropol itan street railway company but the crsc of the prank girl is stronger than that of branda in tending to prove that criminal electrocutions do no more than to produce a state of suspended ani mation for branda was conscious for sev eral moments after the current struck him while the girl was rendered uncon scious at tlie very uioment of contact with the electric current and now has no mem ory of how she was injured accident result of a dare the frank girl who is the daughter of

courage had failed before they reached the crossbar near the swinging electric light seizes live wire then mollie determined to outdo her playmates began her ascent of the pole she reached the crossbar and , hung there for a few moments saving ber strength then with a last effort sue reached up and touched the wire the electric bolt shot through her body and flashed out at three different points in a thin blue ilame the child's hold ou the crossbar was instantly relaxed and she tell to the pavement fifteen feet below apparently dead she lay there still and unconscious while the terrified women and children who witnessed the accident stood by iu helpless tear pail of water revives girl after a lapse of several minutes a woman who lived nearby ran into her home and came out with a pail of water which she dashed on the girl's face the water acted as a counter shock and though it was only a simple remedy administered by un skilled hands it served the intended pur pose the dead girl who had but a few minutes before suffered an electric shock one-third greater than any ever given a condemned murderer showed signs of re turning consciousness the woman who had brought the water knowing no other means of resuscitation dashed the water to the girl's face again and again and within a short time mollie sat up in open-eyed wonderment and asked to know what it was all about recovers faculties fully another simple shock restored her to the full use of her faculties some one sug gested that the girl's fawer be called and that one remark was shock sufficient lo clear her mind she begged tbat ber father be kept in ignorance of the accident for she feared that he would be displeased at what sue had done the father came and carried the wounded child home and he and his wife without aid of physician or surgeon bathed and dressed the girl's terrible wounds the palm of the right hand which had come iu contact with the hot wire was badly burned and her left hand left leg and left arm were scorched and rent at three different points at which the electric current had found exit from her body in addition to tbis she had a deep wound on her head received when she fell from the pole her mind a blank the child's answer to the question of what sensation she had felt when the elec tric bolt entered her body showed just how near she had been to death i do not remember anything that hap pened after i reached the crossbar and touched the wire said the girl kose and amelia had climbed the poie before mc but they had not reached the top and helen rose's big sister did not get half way up i wanted to beat them and that is why i climbed up all the way we wanted to see lf the wire was hot [ i remember touching the wire but i do not know what happened then the next i

electricity 500 volts more than is administered to condemned per sons in the penal instlttrti ons of 2?ew york new jersey and ohio measured by the standards recognized by the states that employ electricity in ac complishing the execution of human be ings this little child should now be dead but she still lives and the story of how ' her life was saved has added another argu ment to be used by the eminent medical men who charge that persons who suffer the death penalty by menus of electrocu tion are not killed by the electric shock but by the knife of the surgeon who per forms the official autopsy or by dissolution in the grave similar to branda case in many respects the case is similar to that of john branda the laborer who re cently was revived at the hudson street hospitai in new york city after he had received an electrical shock of 2,400 volts while working on the lines of the metropol itan street railway company but the crsc of the prank girl is stronger than that of branda in tending to prove that criminal electrocutions do no more than to produce a state of suspended ani mation for branda was conscious for sev eral moments after the current struck him while the girl was rendered uncon scious at tlie very uioment of contact with the electric current and now has no mem ory of how she was injured accident result of a dare the frank girl who is the daughter of

points in a thin blue ilame the child's hold ou the crossbar was instantly relaxed and she tell to the pavement fifteen feet below apparently dead she lay there still and unconscious while the terrified women and children who witnessed the accident stood by iu helpless tear pail of water revives girl after a lapse of several minutes a woman who lived nearby ran into her home and came out with a pail of water which she dashed on the girl's face the water acted as a counter shock and though it was only a simple remedy administered by un skilled hands it served the intended pur pose the dead girl who had but a few minutes before suffered an electric shock one-third greater than any ever given a condemned murderer showed signs of re turning consciousness the woman who had brought the water knowing no other means of resuscitation dashed the water to the girl's face again and again and within a short time mollie sat up in open-eyed wonderment and asked to know what it was all about
